Post your SS '20 Edition!

[Boomshot007]

What size (large) i hope and where do you ride? Before plunking my money I would love to give it a go if you wouldn't mind. Thanks

It is a large. I’m on Long Island but maybe I can come out that way so you can throw a leg over it and I can ride some famous NJ gnar. With no racing, I didn’t get to ride my yearly Ringwood and Allamuchy.

Modern geo works for me. 40mm stem with a 140 fork.

Nice looking ride

Looks more like a Radimus from the picture. Not really that expensive for a Ti frame either.

Yep. That's a Radimus. I was seriously considering one of those when they first came out. Nice looking bike.

Honestly it doesn't matter the geos are the same on all 3 steel Verhauen and ti Optimus Radimus. I hope to have my order in in next week.

Here are the SS I've owned over the years. I might set up my Pugsley SS with the Surly kit I have. A Misfit, 2 Salsa's and 2 Haro Mary's.

None were ever involved in a cheat

Did I ever tell you guys about my single speed Niner?

Let me guess, it cracked. Had 3 SIR9s, 2 cracked.

If I decide to convert to SS my 27.5+ wheel set should I go with this? @Dusty the Whale ? Asking for a friend ( @Pearl )

 

[Patrick]

Don't poke him, seriously.

I'm going to be looking at everyone's freehub body next time I line up with the SS class at a MASS XC race.

There’s no way I’m getting out to Jersey by next week, Matty. I can tell you that the Radimus has been a great all arounder. It replaced a Honzo which I loved but was just too heavy for racing.

No one cheats that way in the MASS. They just cut courses ...

Looking up this bike muzzled my coveting for a second El Mar, thank you. But now I need to have one of these, totally wasted on me though...THANK YOU!

 

[rosceaux]

New to me for three weeks. It’s like being force-fed hubris every time I take it out
